Accepting none domain email.

[LedZepRock]

Hi

My mail server is current setup to accept <name>@mail.com and that all works great.

We have now been taken over by a new company and need to (for the time being until it can be sorted out fully) change all our email to <name>@new.com and the email to our employees will be relayed from the new company servers. How do I set this up, I thought I had it sused (and even though it worked) but you know what computers are like!!
I went to "Internet Mail Service" and in "routing" I add these lines
bob@new.com Route to Inbound. I then went to the bob@new.com and added a new SMTP address of bob@new.com.

But when I send a mail to my mail servers SMTP (using popcorn) the mail is then sent to the take over companys servers rather than being delivered locally

Any ideas???

Hope that makes some sort of sense.

You need to map DNS MX records for your new domain to point to your local exchange server, otherwise new.com email will never find you.

Hi

Thanks for the answer, the MX record will still need to point at the takeover companys mailserver, they then relay the email to our server (for the users at our site). So there is no problem the new mail reaching us, its more of a problem with 5.5 dealing with this mail arriving at the SMTP interface.
